try installing the flash drive once through add new hardware wizard from control panel. it might fix the problem for you. also plug the device directly into the usb slot present in the backside of the computer.

Do other USB devices work when you plug them in the USB port?If they don't then you have a faulty USB port otherwise the DaneElec is faulty or needs formatting.Sometimes when a flash memory stick fails because it was not removed from the USB port properly. If the device is removed by just pulling it out of the USB port, it can cause the flash device to fail, you must click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the Task Bar and select the device you wish to remove and only do so when instructed to do so.When the flash memory device appears to malfunction it maybe possible to restore it by reformatting it. Insert the flash drive into the USB port then Click on Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management - Disk Management.Then right click on Disk 1 removable drive and click Format. After the flash drive has been formatted it will indicate that it is Healthy.You need to format the external drive. Format the drive as primary drive and in FAT32. (FAT32 will allow data to be exchanged between MACs and PCs).Insert the external hard drive into the USB port then Click on Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management - Disk Management.Then right click on Disk 1 removable drive and click Format. After the flash drive has been formatted it will indicate that it is Health

Go to "Control Panel>>>System>>>Device Manager.Once in Device Manager,then click on "Disk Drives" (Make sure your flash drive is plugged in before you do this).You should see your flash drive listed by it's name (SanDisk Cruzer...). If you don't see your flash drive listed, the computer is not recognizing it and your drive may have been damaged by static electricity. If your flash drive is listed, then it's a more complicated troubleshooting procedeure than I can Walk you through in one posting. So try looking in "Device Manager" and then let me know what happened.

You cannot plug an IDE ribbon in the floppy slot (port). The total IDE drives you can install is four (4). But check your jumper configuration. The DVD & DVD/CD-ROM cannot have the same jumper configuration to share the same IDE slot. One has to be MASTER (MS) and the other SLAVE (SL). Or you may put both drives on CABLE SELECT (CS).

Could you let me know, what happens when you insert the External HD in the USB port............and also go to Device Manager and check if their is any Yellow exclamation mark across USB Controllers......if so, then Right click and uninstall all the USB ports and Restart the Computer.......If you see a RED mark, then just Right Click and Select Enable.....just follow the steps as given....and let me know...Take care
